About 150 users. What would be the minimum RAM I should have for my server? Also, you say that you script your Windows clients to connect to the printers during login. Is that just with a basic batch or vbscript that connects the user to a printer share? Or do you setup a local ip port for the printer on the client machine?</FONT></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Verdana>Thanks,</FONT></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Verdana>Jeremy</FONT></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Verdana color=#000000 size=3></FONT> </DIV></DIV> <DIV id=idSignature35781 dir=ltr> <DIV RE><FONT color=#0000ff size=5>--------------------------</FONT></DIV> <DIV RE><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>Jeremy Schubert</FONT></DIV> <DIV RE><FONT size=2>Cell: 403-510-2872 Voice: 403-252-7541 (Ext 392) Fax: 403-640-0116 </FONT><A href="mailto:jeremy.schubert@cssd.ab.ca"><FONT size=2>jeremy.schubert@cssd.ab.ca</FONT></A></DIV> <DIV RE><BR><FONT face=Verdana color=#800000><STRONG><EM>Proud member of the Grandin IT Team</EM></STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV RE><STRONG><EM><FONT face=Verdana color=#800000>If we're not on time, we're late.</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV RE><STRONG><EM><FONT face=Verdana color=#800000>(And no, we're never early!)</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV RE> </DIV> <DIV RE><FONT face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV> <DIV RE> </DIV></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr><BR> <HR tabIndex=-1> <FONT face=Tahoma size=2><B>From:</B> k12osn-bounces@redhat.com on behalf of Burroughs, Henry<BR><B>Sent:</B> Thu 17/05/2007 9:04 AM<BR><B>To:</B> k12osn@redhat.com<BR><B>Subject:</B> [K12OSN] Building a Print server<BR></FONT><BR></DIV> <DIV> <DIV class=Section1> <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I have currently implemented a Fedora Core 6 (soon to be moved to Centos 5) print server using CUPS. I’m moving all my users to printing to the queues on this server (both Windows, Mac, and Linux). You should follow the instructions for using the CUPS/MS postscript drivers so you can easily deploy to Windows clients using a login script. The CUPS/MS drivers don’t need local admin access for the user to use the queues…. So no more adding special printer drivers to each client for each printer… they all use the same CUPS/MS drivers. The next step for me is to use pykota. I’ve got a central view of all the print jobs now so I can see if something is jammed.</SPAN></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN></FONT> </P> <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Henry Burroughs</SPAN></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Technology Director<BR>Hilton Head Preparatory School</SPAN></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">www.hhprep.org</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
